| Print | PDF 

 

 

 Local Disaster Risk Reduction Action Plan has been developed based on CRA output. Re- excavation of a dead canal was proposed located in Amorbunia of Nishanbaria union. Amorbuniya’s canal had been filled with sediment in last two decades, consequently no water flowing through it reduced fish production and also hampered canal ecosystem. Farmers couldn’t produce crops in their fields due to the lack of water.

To accomplish East Amurbuniya canal re-excavation program in Nishanbaria Union of Morelgonj Upazila, five parties collaborated directly, they are Morelgonj Upazila Disaster Management Committee (UzDMC), Nishanbaria Union Disaster Management Committee (UDMC), Comprehensive Disaster Management Program (CDMP, Bangladesh Disaster Preparedness Centre and (BDPC) and Local Canal Re-excavation Facilitation Committee (local community).

Roughly 2000 families including thousands of farm animals would be benefited directly from this canal. A confined water reservoir would ensure irrigation during dry season which will ultimately result into better production of crops.

The profile of water reservoir (Amorbuniya canal) is as below-

  • Length: Approximately 3000 feet (one kilometer)
  • Width excluding bank: 32 feet (10.6 meter)
  • Width including bank: 54 feet (18 meter)
  • Bank: Both side of the canal is hoisted up to 4 feet and there is an earthen road on eastern side with 14 feet width.
  • Depth: 10 feet, depends on oil condition

Participants: Kutubdia Upazila Birth Attendant

Location: Ghono Shastho Kendro, Cox's Bazar

Bangladesh is one of the most over crowed country in the world. Maternal mortality and child mortality are crucial reasons behind that. 80% people are living in the rural area. They don’t even get the proper health facilities. They prefer birth attendant in birth attendance period rather than go to government hospitals or community clinics. It is woeful but true that the process of birth attendance they followed is unscientific and very risky for both the pregnant women and the new born baby. It increases the risk of both maternal mortality and child mortality.  So it is essential to skill the birth attendant and encourages them to follow the scientific way when they involve in birth attendance process.  To ensure proper health facilities to the pregnant women and also ensure a good health of the new born babies which ultimately decline the rate of maternal mortality and child mortality.
